Quoted from promotion plaice

In his "Pre Lincoln Press Conference" MJ says he is confident of bringing in more players before the end of August.

Not suggesting at all that we are after signing him but I saw Josh Gowling in Grimsby today, I think Torquay released him at the end of last season.


Clee Town's next signing?

Radio Humberside were reporting that Jolley had said that he has lost out on some signings due to 'finances and location'. I haven't heard the interview myself.


Oh dear. You kind of got the impression that this was the case, but it's still sad to hear it.

Afraid Chaos is paraphrasing there, he actually said there were many contributory factors to not getting the players he wanted and location/money were 2 of said factors

Funnily enough, those are the words that come out of our lasses mouth, on a regular basis...oh, sorry that what's she tells me I should do!!..
.tbh tho, I do think these 2 factors are more than likely the biggest reason why we can't attract a fairly decent calibre of player, certainly a front man anyway

I'm not paraphrasing. I'm quoting Radio Humberside sports bulletin yesterday tea time who said that Jolley had indicated he had missed out on players due to finances and location. These are the actual words RH used. If there was any paraphrasing, then RH have done it. As I said, I haven't heard the Jolley interview myself.

That's accurate but not really in context as he said there were a range of factors two of which were finance, location but also division and then many other things players need to be right when signing on.

So yes accurate but non news as finance and location affect recruitment for not only every club  in football but also every job you could think of.

It was JT who asks MJ the question of the reasons he gets knocked back by targets and asks if its finances and geography.

MJ responds by saying that there's a host of factors that come into it, as with any deal and any club. He lists some of them and includes the two that JT had prompted him about. If R.Humberside are making a story out of that in the context Chaos suggests, then it's a load of rubbish.

However, aren't the two main reasons every player chooses a club money and location anyway? Hardly a story even if MJ had said it like that.
